I've used the Flame Steward for one of my PCs. And that's really about it.

If Hero Games can put a phenomenal index in each and every one of their books, then there is no reason all the other game companies cannot do the same.

My guess is that since they can't do a good one, they decided not to do one at all. It is cheaper for them that way.

In any of the worlds I run the only magic shops I have are attached to Magickal Universities. Considering the vast costs involved in researching new spells, the mages need some way ( aside from their cut of taxes ) to fund it. They have student mages making potions, scrolls, and wands of spells...

My party is in Ravenloft. In 2nd ed. We are so very screwed.

Raise Dead has an expensive material component, which also has to be paid for by the PC. In 3.0 it was a 500gp diamond, bringing the cost of a raise dead up to 950. I don't know what it is in 3.5 except I heard it got more expensive...

I am using Random Encounter Tables, and an Attracted Monster Table. But then again, I'm running Undermountain and they are kind of a given. Unfortunately for the PCs they have a habit of doing things that require rolls on the Attracted Monster Table more often than they probably need to. Poor...

Oh nonono. I like Steve Long right where he is. Cranking out Hero books like a caffeine powered robot.

The classic items: Cup, Staff, Sword and Pentacle. The new classics: Wand, Tome, Dagger, Robes.

That is it exactly.

How about a random effect per night per person? Or just per night, or something. 1d6 1: Heal 1d8+1 points of damage as Cure Light Wounds 2: +2 Deflection bonus for the first 4 hours after waking up. 3: Detect thoughts for the first 4 hours after waking up. 4: +1 to hit and +1 vs fear effects for...

I was reminded of my biggest 2004 in-game regret as a GM. I was running a Fantasy Hero game in a conan-esque swords and sorcery world. The PCs were a bunch of rogues and cutthroats in the conan style, hyper-skilled and deadly. I had this plot idea as a side-line where their band of raiders...

Pushing that big red candy-like button. I knew it was trapped, as a player. It just screamed TRAPTRAPTRAP. My character, the very wise Dwarf fighter/cleric wouldn't have pushed it. But I know that I, as a DM hate when the players don't trigger the trap. I mean, where is the fun in avoiding all...

The gods, while already mad, were hungry. And ate it. But now they slumber until they should again awaken and hunger.

My first PrC was the Sacred Flame from Dragon Magazine, the issue with Radiant Servant of Pelor and such... ( With errata, so no unlimited Burning Hands etc... ) She started as a cleric with the Magic and Fire domains in a game that initially only had two players, with only one PC each. So we...

I found that for Ravenloft George Crumb is awefully appropriate. Specifically Music For a Summer Evening, Zeitgeist, and Ancient Voices of Children...

Talk like Yoda. That always works.

I did not see an appropriate choice... I like both 100% dungeon crawl, and 0% dungeon crawl, but clearly labeled and seperate... i.e. On Fridays we're doing Undermountain. All dungeon, all the time. But on Saturdays we have our Intrigue and political game, and never the two shall meet. Few games...

Make sure that both a) The splinters cannot be destroyed. and b) They can help find the others. Otherwise you might end up with players taking their one splinter, incasing it in steel and dropping it in the ocean somewhere or something like that. Happily I don't know from experience, just from...

Call of Cthulhu, 3rd edition (IIRC) in '91-'92ish. I was 17 at the time.
